Best of all, the Weber grill light can be turned on and off manually or via an automatic tilt sensor. Weber may have the only handle-mounted grill light available on the market. Other grill lights are meant to be mounted on walls near the grill or are freestanding and need to be placed within a certain radius of the grill. The vast majority of online reviewers loved the Weber BBQ light, but reviewers both positive and negative found one major flaw in the design. The barbeque light’s auto switch function does not engage on all grill models, allowing power to trickle through to the light even when the lid is closed, draining batteries in the process. If you own a Weber and love to grill, this bbq grill light is a must. Just remember to keep an eye on the auto switch and maybe use the manual on/off switch instead.
